According to the survey, in recent years, the quality of male semen in the world has shown a downward trend year by year. The quality of male semen in China has also decreased at a rate of 1% per year, and the number of sperm has decreased by more than 40%. Moreover, the higher the degree of industrialization, the faster the decline of male sperm quality. This directly led to a decline in the rate of eugenics and fertility, and a significant increase in the rate of infertility. Male sperm is very sensitive and fragile. All kinds of external or internal stimuli from life may reduce its vitality, or even kill its vitality. Some of the reasons for the decline of sperm quality are congenital or acquired diseases, and some are caused by human factors in life. Therefore, the impact of living habits and details cannot be ignored. Common factors affecting sperm in life include the following:
Tobacco and alcohol have no effect on sperm development. Tobacco and alcohol have always been the enemy of health, which has long been a consensus among people. Unexpectedly, excessive smoking and alcohol have the same obvious effect on semen. Excessive smoking and alcohol can damage male sexual function, thus causing male infertility. The number of sperm in the semen of long-term smokers is more than 20% less than that of non-smokers, and the number of abnormal sperm accounts for a large proportion. Excessive drinking will lead to the reduction of male gonad function and androgen level. In serious cases, it may lead to impotence and abnormal chromosome in sperm, which will lead to fetal malformation or dysplasia. In men with chronic alcoholism, excessive drinking will lead to atrophy of testicular development and decrease of sperm quality. Therefore, male friends, especially unmarried and childless young men, should avoid smoking and alcohol.
Poor mood affects sperm development. Emotion has a direct and profound impact on the generation, maturation and activity of male sperm. If male friends are depressed and in poor spirits all day due to excessive work pressure, marital discord and other reasons, the sperm production function of male testicles will also be disordered, and the number of sperm produced will be greatly reduced. The prostate fluid, seminal vesicle fluid, urethral bulb fluid and other components in semen will also be affected, which is not conducive to sperm survival and greatly reduces the probability of successful pregnancy. In serious cases, premature ejaculation, impotence, even azoospermia, dead sperm and even no ejaculation will be caused due to poor mood. Therefore, in daily life, male friends must relax their mood, often enjoy their body and mind, and let themselves face each day easily.
